Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Straw Grasshopper sighting in Bucharest on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 256th most-seen of the 361 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Straw Grasshopper in Bucharest on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Bucharest's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain a month against 35 mm in February.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Straw Grasshopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Common Straw Grasshopper sightings, Bucharest ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Vienna (Austria, about 10%), Budapest (Hungary, about 10%) and Rome (Italy, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Common Straw Grasshopper that you can see in Bucharest (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Common Maquis Grasshopper (about 10%), Blue-Winged Grasshopper (about 10%) and Italian Locust (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Straw Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Bucharest (7 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
